The Ute Uprising,

DENVER, August 28.-The situation in
the Ute war, as far as can be learned, is
unchanged. Word has been received that
600 Indians are camped near Thursdays
battlefield, and are held back by two COM
panies of colored regulars. 1t is known
that the Indians who took part in the fight
we're true White River and Uintah Utes
and Uncumpahgrcs, and that if necessary
over 1900 reinforcements can be raised
from this tribe. The Uncumpabgre Indians
are a very hot.headed race and If any OF
their people were killed Thursday it is
feared that the entire tribe will take the
matterup and precipitate the State into a
long and bloody war. If the Indians do not
attack the whites at Rangley before the
arrival of Governor Adams and General
Crook tomorrow, there are hopes that the
trouble will be settled. Lieut.. Nelson, OF
Aspen, who was wounded seriously during
the engagement, died Friday morning.

You have been called together at the

to call for Legislative action. All free
peoples are Jealous and unrestful under the
exercise OF any doubtful authority, or
Questionable power over their property,
and while all good citizens willingly submit
and cheerfully bear all lawful burdens i'm
posed by their government; still they
scrutinize carefully, and inquire for the
authority of every agent who assumes to
have license to demand OF them their
money in the shape OF taxes, or to other
wise interfere with their property IN the
name OF the state. Hence all the statute
laws of the government should be clear
direct and without ambiguity or doubtful
constructions; otherwise confusion, strl1e
